thats four draws in the last four home games that ought to have been four wins. Don't know what Mourinho can do when his team just isnt finishing the chances they're creating. Also not a hope that Conte or Klopp would have been sent to the stands

Cry me a river, Wenger got sent off for doing the exact same thing at Old Trafford last season.

As for "I don't know what Mourinho can do" re finishing chances, when you spend over a £150 million in the summer you'd expect a better return on your investment. 

Easy deflect and point the finger instead of manning up and realizing this United team are bang average. 

Pogba has been extremely good for the last couple of months (United's best player along with Mata), Bailly before he was injured was United's  best defender, Zlatan hasn't reached the heights that he did previously at PSG but with 9 goals in 19 and a handful of assists has had an ok start to his United career. the Mkhitaryan situation is puzzling to say the least but the new signings have done well. 

What does thinking they're bang average have to do with it? I can't picture any fan of any team saying "we created 10 chances in that game and still only came away with a draw, but it doesn't matter because we're bang average" The team has dropped 8 points at home that they shouldn't have, which has very little to do with how good or bad anyone thinks they are. They're creating enough that they should be winning games, and yet they're squandering what they create at a rate of knots. In a situation like that, I personally don't think the blame ought to be laid at the manager's doorstep.

If the team were getting outplayed week in week out like they have been many times over the last 3 and a half years, it'd be a different story

Drawing 4 home games in a row when creating numerous chances but not being clinical enough to finish them tells me your team is average.

The really good teams find goals from everywhere. 

The results are the bottom line but don't always tell the full story. Look at Ireland's first four games and if you look at the points total it looks that we've had a comfortable run of games and are dominating the group. In reality, the post/crossbar has saved us at vital moments away to Serbia Austria & home to Georgia and we've only played well in patches if we're being honest.  

There has been a marked improvement in the last 4 games for United but it's not going for them at the moment. It's hard to be too critical when they're actually playing well. Their movement is a lot better and there's more support upfront with the midfielders making clever runs in behind the defence.
